November 7th, 2016 Leave a comment Go to comments

Electronic Poker is a beloved game that is able to be gambled on in casinos all over the world, or in your house on your PC, using a net account. The game rules are absolutely straightforward and consist of the player attempting to achieve the highest combination of cards as you can in order to acquire cash. In this respect it is very similar as a normal game of poker, minus the involvement with any other players. Of course, tactics employed during a physical game of poker, such as tricking, will be irrelevant here.

The game of Video Poker starts when the player puts credits (either tokens, tickets or money) into the video poker machine and presses the play button. A five card hand will then be electronically ‘distributed’ on the screen.

The Electronic Poker machine also has hold buttons, and players will need to now pick which cards to hold and which to discard. For the cards the player would like to keep, the ‘hold’ buttons need to be pressed so that they light up. The player can choose to keep any number of cards they want, from all to none.

After the player has selected which cards he wishes to keep, the player will then press ‘draw’, at which point any fresh cards are handed out if desired. The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine scanning the hand to see if it matches any of the winning hands printed on the payment schedule.

Generally, the minimum succeeding hand on an Electronic Poker machine is a pair of jacks with the award money increasing for each and every better hand. A common list of winning hands begins with jacks or better, and moves on to two pairs, three of a kinds, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kinds, straight flushes and last but not least royal flushes. It definitely goes without saying that the payment schedule can vary from machine to machine, so that skillful gamblers are able to select the most beneficial ones every time.

After the initial round has played out, the player can either decide to remain on and try to to increase their winnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to cash out any cash that they may have won. Further, a few styles of the game give the enthusiast an opportunity to double their wins, in which case a further round is played. There are also differences among specific games, with some virtual decks having wild cards and other varying elements to increase playability.
